I don`t drink much beer , but

I stopped in the local QT yesterday, to pick up a 12 pack, (usually lasts me a week and a half-2 weeks), the cases were bone empty. They said they were switching over to 6 point beer. What the hell, what if I don`t want 6 point beer ?!
I don`t drink beer much, and don`t drink it to get hi or a buzz , just like to have one at the end of a hard or successful day, and like the taste.
Is everybody going to be stoned w/ legal mariuana or drunk on 6 point beer now ? Traffic is bad enough with all the idiots texting and driving.
